The Federal Way Farmers Market will move indoors for its first winter season. Starting Nov. 16, the market will be open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through the holidays inside The Commons Mall next to Starbucks in the old Borders bookstore. Much like the summer season, which runs May through October in the mall’s parking lot, the winter market will feature the usual array of produce and flowers from local farmers. Dozens of vendors will sell handcrafted gifts such as jewelry, scarves, gloves, knit items and more. Food vendors will peddle everything from jams, jellies and honey to pasta, dips, oils, cheese and jerky. Vendors will offer seasonal fare typically found at holiday bazaars.

Walmart workers protest ahead of Black Friday
On Thursday, dozens of Walmart employees participated in a protest strike outside the Federal Way store on South 314th Street. Walmart employees from the region aired grievances over wages, job safety and health benefits. Walmarts across the nation are expected to see similar protests through Thanksgiving and the Black Friday shopping day. Read more at federalwaymirror.com. ANDY HOBBS, The Mirror
Sound Transit held an open house at Truman High School on Nov. 13, as the first step in the process of determining alternative solutions for increasing transit capacity for Federal Way and South King County. Community members, city officials, and various Sound Transit staff members were on hand to talk about the new direction of the 2008 ST2 ballot measure, which was set to bring light rail to Federal Way. “Even though we don’t have funding to construct all the way to Federal Way, what we want to do is get into a position where we have an approved alignment, an approved number of stations and locations,” said Kimberly Reason, media relations and public information officer for ST. “This is the first step in the whole planning process.” Reason said this first step is important for the community to be involved

Sound Transit will be looking at light rail alignment (along Highway 99 vs. along I-5), mode of transportation, stations and locations, among other things, she said. “We want to be thorough in looking at all the alternatives so that when we whittle it down to preferred alternatives, we feel that we’ve looked at everything,” Reason said. This whole process was made possible by an additional $24 million in funding approved by the ST governing board back in [ more TRANSIT, p. 18 ]
Despite a decline in crime, city still has hotspots By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@federalwaymirror.com
The FBI released its annual Crime in the United States report for American cities last month, with national trends for both violent and property crime continuing downward. According to the FBI’s statistics, violent crime fell for the fifth year in a row, dropping 4.5 percent (for
every 100,000 people). Property crime fell for the ninth year in a row by 1.3 percent, according to the FBI. Six of the seven categories the FBI monitors also saw decreases nationally. The seventh category that didn’t see a decrease, burglaries, saw a slight increase of 1.3 percent nationally. In Washington state, the downward trend also con-
tinued. At the state level, the FBI found that, of cities with populations of 100,000 or more: • The rate of violent crime decreased 6 percent (per 100,000 people) and property crime rate decreased by 3.4 percent (per 100,000 people) • Seattle saw decreases in the number of robberies, larceny-thefts, and motor [ more CRIME, p. 14 ]

Boy Scout’s orca mural spruces up Meredith Hill toward becoming an Eagle Scout. The scout was honored by Meredith Hill’s principal, Cindy Kelsey, during Federal Way Public Schools board meeting on Nov. 13. “In pursuit of the accomplishment of Eagle Scout, Brendan had to plan, develop and give leadership to others in a service project helpful to a religious institution, school, or his community,” Kelsey said. “It took several months of creating, planning and acquiring materials and support to perform this service project. After a very long weekend of work in early October, the project was nearly complete.” Kelsey continued,

“Three kids injured in collision between car and school bus”: This accident happened about two blocks from my house. The front end of the Civic was completely crushed. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out the driver was speeding. I am very glad the majority of those involved are doing well. To be honest the number of cars that speed through our neighborhood during school hour drop off and pick up is alarming. This was bound to happen, I am just glad it was vehicle to vehicle, and not vehicle vs. child. Cutting people off and speeding to an elementary school is just pointless. The extra few minutes it would take to be patient and complete this process in an orderly fashion is nothing compared to a child being hit by a car, or another car being hit. SLOW DOWN! — Melissa Connolly-Larson
The unpredictable 30th District The 30th Legislative District is a swing district that leans Democratic. Prior to the election, the district had a Democratic Senator in Tracey Eide, a Democratic House member in Mark Miloscia, and a Republican House member, Katrina Asay. Miloscia vacated his seat to run for State Auditor. Pre-election conventional wisdom was that incumbent Asay should win, and with 14-year city council member Linda Kochmar running in the open seat, the Republicans might win both seats. But Asay lost by a large margin to Roger Freeman, and while Kochmar beat Roger Flygare, it was close. So what happened? If you’re looking for simplicity, then you would argue that the two best candidates won. And that may be true. But the tale of these two races is far more complicated. Kochmar is a well known public figure in Federal Way and has a resume full of experience. Asay held an advantage as the incumbent and had done well in her first term as a legislator despite being in the minority party. She previously served as mayor of Milton, so her government elected experience was also longer than her opponent’s. Kochmar and Asay were good candidates. Roger Flygare, a longtime Democrat, had earned support from the rank-and-file Democrats through labor contacts. He held traditional Democratic values, but was also a small businessman, which heightened his marketability. He demonstrated a firm understanding of the legislative process due to his involvement with bills on behalf of his business. His name familiarity had improved after he ran for the Federal Way City Council last year. With President Obama and governor candidate Jay Inslee at the top of the ticket, Flygare would benefit by
the Democratic ground game. Last year, Flygare made first-time candidate mistakes that he corrected for his legislative race. His Municipal League rating went from “not qualified” to “very good.” His signs, literature and newspaper ads were much better. He doorbelled more than Kochmar and raised more money. He had served in the military and had a Purple Heart. He had done some community work, although much of it was low profile and outside Federal Way. Flygare could have won this race. But he made one big, almost unbelievable and unnecessary mistake that dominoed into other questions. When he started publishing his resume, Flygare committed the one error a candidate can’t make: He misstated a key part of his own personal story, his military record. In these days of hardball politics, opponent research and the availability of information with the push of a button, a candidate can’t make that type of error. Flygare said he served two tours of duty in Vietnam when he only served one. The error was significant in itself, but the bigger problem was that it opened the door for his detractors to raise questions about his entire resume — which they did on several fronts. He was passed over for appointment to a city board by the city council because he said he was a member of the Federal Way Chamber of Commerce for longer than he was. Even though Kochmar excused herself and didn’t participate, the council was able to verify a difference of several months. Flygare should have considered that, with six colleagues of Kochmar’s involved in the process, someone would check. They did. His information had to be accurate, and [ more ROEGNER, page 5 ] Bob Roegner

For the first time an idea has caught on that marijuana needs to be regulated like alcohol and not as a Schedule 1 controlled substance. That idea is growing fast, but the method this movement is using is not new. Back in 1881, Kansas passed the first state constitutional amendment to prohibit alcohol. Soon, other states followed and movements began to gain ground. In Oberlin, Ohio, in 1893, a group of people against drinking started an organization called the Anti-Saloon League. This movement focused on passing laws at a state and local level that banned the consumption, production and importation of alcohol. Working hand and hand with the American Temperance Society, they managed to elect officials to Congress that supported a dry America. In 1916, a total of 23 states in the union had passed some sort of prohibition, and by 1919, they had the magical two-thirds majority to pass the 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution. Of course, they soon found out that the rise of organized crime and corruption in America was the result of this amendment like the cartels and gangs of today. By 1932, Franklin Roosevelt ran for president on a promise to repeal Prohibition, and by 1933, the 21st Amendment was passed that repealed the 18th Amendment. Why I mention this bit of history is to allow you to better understand why Amendment 64 in Colorado and Initiative 502 in Washington state are so important. You see, after Prohibition was passed, federal, state and local government lost about 14 percent of the total revenue they used to receive. The money and crime was understood and the people began to do something about it. This is what the people are doing now. Colorado finally figured out what the American people want in regards to laws on marijuana. The Colorado law says it all. The Regulate Marijuana like Alcohol Act of 2012 does exactly what it says it will do and Americans are starting to realize that prohibition does not work. I am not saying that we are on the road to a constitutional amendment for marijuana, but we are on the move for Congress folks to pass a law like this or face election problems. In such close elections, this will be a hard thing to fight. So it really is not very important if the federal government supports or opposes such laws passed at the state level. It really does not matter what the Supreme Court says on the subject. What is important is that this has grown into a federal movement that will eventually turn into a form of federal legislation. To move marijuana from a Schedule 1 controlled substance to the same category as tobacco and alcohol is easier then amending a constitution. It is just a matter of time now. So don’t break out the Cheetos and Goldfish yet.

Thank you for the Veterans Day observance I just wanted to say that I was so impressed and happy to be part of the Veterans Day observance at Todd Beamer High School, beginning with the Todd Beamer Wind Ensemble (amazing) and
the exceptional vocals of the Harmony Kings Barbershop Chorus. I must say when the cadets and AFJROTC presented colors and honored POW/ MIA soldiers with a table that was set for our “heroes,” there were quite a few tears that were shed. The applause and standing ovations were really a testi-
mony to how well this event was put on. It will be something I will attend annually, and would suggest not missing it next year. Thanks so much for all the hard work that was put into this event, and thank you to our veterans.

www.federalwaymirror.com [ ROEGNER from page 4] it wasn’t. Lost in the process was the question about how such usually confidential information regarding Flygare’s application would find its way into a political campaign. The disclosure came toward the end of the race and compounded Flygare’s problems. Flygare knew from last year’s unsuccessful run for the city council that he had enemies who were watching him. He should have anticipated they would check every single detail. These were self-inflicted wounds that didn’t have to happen. In politics, voters expect differences of opinion, maybe differences in interpretations on issues. But the one thing every candidate has to get exactly right is their personal story. For a candidate running on “integrity,” the errors became fatal. This should have been a debate between two candidates with different points of view that provided the public with policy reasons to choose the candidate they thought would represent them best. It wasn’t. Flygare spent much of the election on the defensive and in damage control mode, rather than concentrating his time and money identifying the differences between him and Kochmar. While Kochmar had much to be proud of during her time on the council, after 14 years, she also had a record to defend. Flygare was never able to draw a clear distinction for the public. Equally as important, Kochmar didn’t make any major errors. It is a testament to the Democratic ground game and Flygare’s hard work that the election was still very close. Roger Freeman has the perfect package for a suc-
cessful political career. He is handsome, articulate, bright and has a beautiful family out of central casting. He has a law degree, is among the best public speakers in town, and is a city council member from the district’s biggest city. Most observers felt it was not “if ” he would run for the Legislature, but “when.” Even against a well entrenched incumbent, Freeman would be a formidable candidate. Asay was not entrenched, although she showed much promise. She was a freshman legislator who would attract 48 percent in the primary, signaling potential vulnerability. She is from Milton, a small city in the district, and as a Republican, she is from the minority party where it is hard to establish a resume of major accomplishments. Freeman got into the race late as he was recruited by the Speaker of the House after others had turned down the race. At the time, some questioned whether this was the right time and the right race for him. Was Freeman prepared for a race at this level? Freeman had only been a council member for two years, and even some of his allies were disappointed that with his ability he hadn’t emerged as one of the council leaders. He had taken the lead on restarting the MLK celebration, but hadn’t taken the lead on other high-profile policy issues and made them his own. He deferred to others on the council who lack his skills. At times, even his colleagues on the council questioned his commitment. But he did bring personal skills and passion to the race. While Asay doorbelled 16,000 households, Freeman did not have the latitude in his job to take
significant time off, but he was able to leave literature at 8,000 homes, and his campaign sign program was noticeably better. Asay, while not Freeman’s equal as a speaker, clearly had a better command of the issues and the legislative process during the debates. Freeman relied on his legal training in the debates, but his answers suggested that not enough time had been spent in preparation. His position on gay marriage and abortion at the Mirror primary debate caused some problems within the Democratic party, so he “clarified” his position at the final debate and smoothed out the change. It made him appear indecisive, and more importantly, it was an issue he should have been prepared to handle from the beginning — not at the end and after it had become a problem. His position was actually the same as several other Democratic and Republican office holders, including Asay, but he hadn’t perfected his answer. Unions such as the Federal Way Police Guild typically support Democrats. They endorsed Flygare. But in this race, they endorsed Asay. Many speculated that the guild’s lack of endorsement of city council members Freeman and Kochmar was intended as a comment on Mayor Skip Priest and labor negotiations. But in a partisan race, the endorsement of Asay was important. The most telling moment of the campaign came at the last Mirror-sponsored debate. Each candidate was allowed to ask their opponent a question. Asay asked Freeman, “what would you have done differently than I did?” To some in the audience, it was a great question. It wasn’t. It

Linda Kochmar’s supporters congratulate her on election night after early results reported a slight lead over Democratic challenger Roger Flygare. Kochmar won with 51 percent of the vote. MIRROR PHOTO was a softball that Freeman should have knocked out of the ballpark, and didn’t. That question symbolized the entire election. What is the difference between you and the candidate you want to replace? Freeman should have had six specific, well researched answers to that question that he could rattle off in two minutes. The answers are what his campaign should have been all about. On other issues, he appeared to come up with an answer on the spot rather than offer a well reasoned response. Other answers appeared naive as to how the Legislature works. But where Asay won on substance points, Freeman won big on style. He looked and acted comfortable in the role of a legislator. His training was paying off. Freeman also got a break, and Asay may have made some key mistakes. Asay did not launch a media campaign to contrast herself and Freeman. She ran a positive campaign, but in this case that
benefited Freeman. Asay allowed Freeman to define himself and didn’t raise questions about his record that could have placed doubt in voters minds. That may have been her biggest mistake. To a lesser degree, some Asay supporters felt she may have over-estimated her name familiarity in Federal Way. She had run here once before. This was Freeman’s third Federal Way race. Mayor Skip Priest was very active in Asay’s campaign and she described him as her mentor. Some now question if she over-estimated the political impact of his support. Others wonder if her deference to Priest was part of the reason she wasn’t aggressive about Freeman’s city council record or his lack of support from the police guild. Asay says no, but the speculation remains. After the election, Federal Way ended up where it started: one Republican and one Democrat in the House. Kochmar won by a small margin, but with the
Roger Freeman defeated Katrina Asay with 54.58 percent of the vote. MIRROR PHOTO Democrats’ impressive Get Out The Vote effort, Flygare might very well have won this race had it not been for his mistakes. Freeman won big. He benefited by the Democratic effort, his own talent and Asay’s decisions. Four good candidates. Only two could win. Kochmar and Freeman now have two years to validate the public’s confidence in them.

After election, King County drops 175 marijuana possession cases Mirror staff reports
The King County Prosecutor’s Office announced Friday that it will dismiss all misdemeanor marijuana possession cases as a result of the passage of Initiative 502, which legalizes marijuana possession of one ounce or less in Washington state. The decision will affect 175 King County cases that are currently filed or referred for filing involving individuals age 21 and older who possessed one ounce or less of marijuana, according to the prosecutor’s office. With the passage of I-502, marijuana possession of one ounce or less by individuals age 21 and older will become legal in Washington state on Dec. 6. King County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg said that dismissing these cases is the right thing to do in light of Tuesday’s vote. “There is no point in
continuing to seek criminal penalties for conduct that will be legal next month,” Satterberg said in a news release. Following the county prosecutor’s decision, the King County Sheriff ’s Office announced that deputies “will not be directed to arrest or charge individuals caught with one ounce or less of marijuana following the passage of I-502.” In Pierce County, Prosecutor Mark Lindquist will dismiss “about four dozen” pending cases in which misdemeanor marijuana possession was the only offense, according to the Seattle Times. In response to the passage of I-502, the state Liquor Control Board issued a statement, announcing that the organization will carry out the will of voters. The initiative gives the board until Dec. 1, 2013, to craft rules for implementation. “I-502 establishes prec-

Bus crash injures 3 kids
Avenue South when the driver became distracted by the two children in the backseat, according to Federal Way police. The driver veered into the opposite lane of traffic and collided head-on with the school bus. The driver and two children, ages 2 and 4, were transported to St. Francis Hospital. There were no significant injuries, according to police. Students on the bus were taken back to Nautilus, and parents were notified to pick up their children. “We really applaud our bus driver,” said spokeswoman Diane Turner. “She handled herself in exemplary fashion. She kept the kids calm and notified the appropriate folks and did a great job for the kids.”

Federal Way’s third annual tribute to veterans, Honoring Our Own, was held Nov. 12 at Todd Beamer High School. The keynote speaker was John E. Patrick, interim director of the VA Puget Sound Health Care System. Patrick relayed the story of an American software engineer who was deployed for 15 months in Baghdad. He worked as an IT specialist to ensure that his unit’s communication abilities remained intact. However, while deployed, his wife left him. Following his discharge, he sought psychological treatment at a local VA hospital. Today, he is working again after getting the help he needed. Patrick said this example reinforces the notion that freedom isn’t free. “Every veteran has offered his country devotion and sacrifice,” said Patrick, noting that there are nearly 22 million living American veterans. “They are the bedrock of the sovereignty of our nation.” At the ceremony, Carol Olsen from Quilts of Valor presented a quilt to Patrick. Quilts of Valor has distributed nearly 70,000 quilts

The Federal Way Eagles made a little history Friday night. For the first time since 1976 the second-ranked Eagles will play in the state quarterfinal round.

Federal Way High School junior Kenna Ramey has spent a lot of time inside the water at the King County Aquatic Center. Ramey used that home-field advantage Saturday night to win a pair of individual state titles at the Class 4A Girls Swimming and Diving Championships. Ramey, who does her club swimming with King Aquatic Kenna Ramey out of the Aquatic Center, repeated her state championship swim in the 50-yard freestyle and also won the 100-yard butterfly gold medal Saturday. Both winning times were personal bests, which is the goal of any swimmer. Ramey entered the Class 4A meet as the top seed in the 50 free and didn’t disappoint during the final. Ramey swam a blazing 23.44 to easily outdistance Wenatchee’s Hannah Bruggman (23.68). Ramey’s time was good enough to earn automatic All-American honors. Ramey also went wire-to-wire in the 100 fly final. She held the top qualifying time after Friday’s preliminaries and finished first in a time of 56.00.

Sports briefs: Local girls excel at punt, pass, kick A pair of Federal Way girls have earned a trip to a Seattle Seahawks game after impressive performances in the NFL’s Punt, Pass and Kick competition. Hailey Still and Kyleigh Carbon will compete next at the Seattle Seahawks Team Championships on Dec. 8 at the Virginia Mason Athletic Complex, the Seahawks’ training facility. Still, who attends Meredith Hills Elementary School, finished in first place in the girls 10-11 bracket at the Sectional Punt, Hailey Still Pass and Kick competition, which was held at West Seattle Stadium last month. Still’s score was good enough to qualify for the Team Championships. In the Kyleigh Carbon Punt, Pass and Kick competition, the top-four finishers in each age bracket from the Pacific Northwest Region advance to the Team Championships. The Pacific Northwest region includes Washington, Alaska, Oregon, Idaho and Montana. Still had the best score in the region. Carbon finished up in first place at the Sectional Competition at West Seattle Stadium in the girls 14-15 bracket. She had the second-best score in the region to qualify for the Team Championships. Carbon is a freshman at Thomas Jefferson High School. Both Still and Carbon have also been invited to watch the Seattle Seahawks play the Arizona Cardi-

LA Galaxy pounds Sounders in Western Conference opener Courtesy SoundersFC.com
CARSON, California – For the first half of the Sounders FC’s Western Conference Final match with the LA Galaxy Sunday at the Home Depot Center, Seattle looked like a team bound for a brawl of a series. But a Robbie Keane goal just before the halftime whistle changed the perspective a bit. And two more goals in a three-minute span in the second half gave the Galaxy a commanding 3-0 lead in the first leg of the conference finals. “It’s a tough one to take, very similar to last year in Salt Lake, so it is disappointing we continued that,” Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid said. “We went through a bad period in the second half where we lost our shape, lost our concentration, lost our focus, and they bang away two goals, and we are actually a little fortunate it wasn’t three or four.” Over the first 45 minutes of the match, Seattle was able to limit Keane’s impact on the game through tough defending from the center back pair of Jeff Parke and Jhon Kennedy Hurtado, but Keane would finally break through just before halftime.
right side of the Rams’ defense 37 yards for a touchdown on Federal Way’s first play from scrimmage. Things got worse for Rogers. On their next play, senior cornerback J.J. McNeal, Zeek’s twin brother, intercepted another pass from Rams quarterback Stefan Van Horne and returned it 40 yards for another Federal Way touchdown. Senior Koby Craig had his first two extra-point attempts blocked to give the Eagles a 12-0 lead. But things kind of settled down after that until the electric Chico McClatcher struck again for the Eagles. Early in the second quarter, the sophomore returned a punt 75 yards right through the center of the Rogers’ team to give Federal Way a commanding 19-0 lead. “Chico’s punt return kind of got us going,” Meagher said.

The Galaxy won the opener 3-0. todd dearinger, For The Mirror LA put pressure up the right side and Sean Franklin got the ball into the box for Landon Donovan, who got to the endline at the edge of the six-yard box. There, he crossed the ball to the far post for Keane, who got space behind Adam Johansson and put a header into the open net before Gspurning could recover for a 1-0 Galaxy lead just before the halftime whistle. The goal ended Seattle’s playoff shutout streak at 317 consecutive minutes. With still 135 minutes left to play in the series, the Sounders came out in the second half with a focus on riding out the early deficit and avoiding leaving themselves vulner-
Friday night’s game was McClatcher’s first in three weeks. The sophomore sat out the Eagles’ final regular season game against Curtis and last week’s win over Issaquah with an illness. “I really wanted to play with the team,” McClatcher said. “I just love the team and wanted to support them. But tonight, we know that we have the fastest team in the state right now. We just want to go out and put points on the board.” McClatcher also set up Federal Way’s next touchdown with a 41-yard punt return. Senior fullback Rod Jones punched the ball in from 2 yards out to put the Eagles up 26-0 with 6:36 left in the half. A D’Londo Tucker interception set up Federal Way’s next score, which came on a perfectly-thrown, 21-yard fade from Curran to Marcel Morris to put the Eagles up
able to the volatile LA counterattack. However, two quick lapses from that mentality left Seattle open to strikes from Mike Magee in the 64th minute and Keane again in the 67th minute put the Galaxy up 3-0. “I’m just disappointed that we didn’t keep it 1-0,” Schmid said. “I thought we had the ability to keep it at 1-0 and we should have kept it at 1-0 and played with a better mentality.” The Sounders will look to stage a comeback in the second leg on Sunday, Nov. 18 at CenturyLink Field. Kickoff is slated for 6 p.m. with television coverage on ESPN. Tickets are available at SoundersFC. com.
33-0. Zeek McNeal culminated a six-play drive with a 12-yard touchdown run with 1:36 left in the half to put Federal Way up 40-0. McNeal finished the first half with 82 yards and two touchdowns on just six carries. Rogers tallied four touchdowns during the second half. Federal Way’s lone points came on the 99-yard touchdown run by Curran with 2:54 left in the game. “It was a fun game,” Curran said. “It was a lot of fun. We definitely knew that it would be tough playing them for a second time.” The two teams played Aug. 31 during the SPSL South regular season, which the Eagles also won easily, 41-14. That game also featured a second-half running clock after Federal Way jumped out to a 41-0 lead before halftime.
sideration. Cascade’s Kalena Laurent finished second in the fly with a 56.56. But Ramey wasn’t the only Federal Way school district athlete to put together an impressive state meet Saturday. Thomas Jefferson senior Shelby Church finished up in second-place in the 1-meter diving event. Church, who won the South Puget Sound League and West Central District championships, finished with 355.30 points. But the total was well back of firstplace finisher Caitlin Chambers from Garfield. Chambers accomplished perhaps the most impressive feat at the 4A meet, scoring 488.20 points to break the state record for all classifications. The previous mark was 473.30 set by Jessie Snowden of Issaquah in 2005. Church led a strong group of divers from the district. Federal Way sophomore Tia Thomas was right behind Church in third place (349.70) and Church’s twin sister, Monica, finished up in fifth place at the state meet (336.35). Newport scored 217 points to finish ahead of its closest challengers Richland (183.5) and Cascade (169) to win the Class 4A team title.

ed the Rogers Rams in the opening round of the Class 4A State Football Tournament, 46-28. The Eagles jumped out to a 40-0 first-half lead and the third and fourth quarters were played with a running clock. The Eagles cruised to its secondstraight SPSL South Division championship, finishing unbeaten. Camas (11-0) might have had an easier time than Federal Way in their state tournament opener. The third-ranked Papermakers blew away Arlington, 62-6, in Camas Saturday. Camas led 21-0 after the first quarter and 49-0 at halftime. The Papermakers also played the second half with a running clock. Camas finished unbeaten in the Greater St. Helen’s League and have never really been tested this season, much like the Eagles. This is Camas’ first season as a Class 4A school. Last year, the Papermakers advanced into the Class 3A state semifinals before losing to O’Dea, 21-13. Camas also rolled into the 3A quarterfinals in 2010 before losing to Lakes, 27-24. Why Camas will win: The Papermakers have been more than dominant this season in the GSHL. On the season, Camas has scored an amazing 542 points in its 11 games. The team scored 30 or more points in 10 of their 11 games, 40 or more points in nine and 50 or more in five different games. “They have a multitude of weapons on offense,” longtime Federal Way head coach John Meagher said. “They are a hurry-up speed offense team, although they use a tight end in most of their formations.” Offensively, the Papermakers are led by quarterback Reilly Hennessey. The junior was 12 of 14 for 141 yards last week during the win over Arlington. On the season, Hennessey has thrown for 2,353 yards and 22 touchdowns. His favorite target is Zach Eagle, who plays mostly out of the slot in the spread offense. Eagle, the coach’s son, has caught 61 passes for 837 yards and seven touchdowns. Camas’ running attack is led by junior Nate Beasley and senior fullback John Norcross. Beasley has rushed for 1,054 yards on 149 carries and has scored 19 touchdowns. He has also caught 18 passes for 337 yards and five TDs. Norcross has scored 15

committed and effective they are,” Wilson told the Federal Way City Council in November 2011.
Crime hotspots While the numbers overall for the city are positive, for some area residents, it doesn’t feel as though crime has gone down. One “hotspot” of activity in the Federal Way police blotter seems to be the Club Palisades Apartments, 2211 S. Star Lake Road. The complex is one of the largest in the state with more than 700 units and more than 2,000 residents. In August, a man was robbed at gunpoint over a Samsung Galaxy tablet device. Earlier that month, a disgruntled ex-boyfriend broke into his ex-girlfriend’s apartment, ransacked it and wrote all over the walls. In January, a juvenile attempted grand theft auto, but was observed and stopped before being able to complete the crime. For Club Palisades tenant Mark Provost, gunshots have been a problem. In recent weeks, Provost said there have been shootings or people unlawfully discharging firearms. “Last weekend, (Nov. 3-4), I think there were two shootings. And last night, (Nov. 8), I don’t think anybody got shot, but there was a gun discharge,” Provost said, as he described the events of Nov. 8. He continued. “The police were here for a hit-and-run on a car. They left, and right after they left, the gun went off. Security heard it, and the police heard it, and they came back.” “It’s just crazy every day,” he added. Several tenants in Club Palisades have posted online feedback, both positive and negative, at apartmentratings.com. In one of several responses, Club Palisades management reports that the apartment complex has strict guidelines and criteria for prospective tenants. In October, management posted that “we will have a new courtesy patrol company and we will be increasing the foot patrol in the complex.” Crime at the budget motels on Pacific Highway South has decreased over the past decade when Federal Way police assigned officers to patrol that stretch of Pacific Highway between S. 330th St. and S. 336th St. Police credit a continual presence in the area, along with cooperation from motel management, for reducing crime related to drugs and prostitution.

LEGAL NOTICES PUBLIC NOTICE - 2013 SOLID WASTE RATE INCREASES In accordance with RCW 35.21.157, the City of Federal Way provides this notice of upcoming solid waste rate increases for Waste Management of Washington customers located in Federal Way. The City of Federal Way manages a contract with Waste Management of Washington that regulates solid waste and recycling collection services and pricing. This contract allows annual rate adjustments tied to Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, as well as periodic adjustments based on King County’s disposal fees. In 2013, both CPI and disposal fees will increase. Individual refuse collection fees generally consist of two components: ‘Disposal’ + ‘Service’ = Current Rate. ‘Disposal’ is based on average container weights, factoring in disposal fees set by King County. The King County Council authorized increased disposal fees effective January 1, 2013. Disposal fees will increase from $109.00 per ton to $120.17 per ton, plus applicable taxes and surcharges. This is a fee increase of approximately 10.2%, which applies only to the ‘Disposal’ component of rates, and covers transfer of solid waste delivered to King County facilities and disposal at the County landfill. For more information, contact King County Solid Wa s t e D i v i s i o n a t 2 0 6 . 2 9 6 . 4 4 6 6 , o r v i s i t http://your.kingcounty.gov/solidwaste/index.asp. The ‘Service’ rate component is Waste Management’s compensation and it adjusts annually by a CPI factor every March 1. This annual CPI adjustment follows an index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This CPI factor increases the ‘Service’ components of residential and commercial rates by approximately 2.7%, effective March 1, 2013. A temporary 0.3% increase in the State Business & Occupation Tax is also factored into these rates. This may be subject to a future sunset date. Customers may reduce the impact of fee increases through waste reduction and recycling options. For example, Residential customers can: Increase recycling cart size (at no added cost) and recycle more, and/or Start or increase yard debris/food scrap recycling (a lower cost option than garbage), and then Reduce garbage container size to reduce combined fees. Upon request, City Public Works staff will assist customers with options that can offset these 2013 rate increases. Commercial customers are encouraged to request limited no-cost recycling service (up to two 96-gallon carts per individual business). Multi-family customer rates include complete recycling services at no added cost. Increasing recycling and downsizing garbage service can reduce costs. To make changes to service levels, contact Waste Management of Washington at (253) 8333333, or (800) 592-9995 Over 200 individual rates are calculated through this process. A complete set of 2013 rates is available for inspection at the City of Federal Way, Dept. of Public Works, 33325 8th Avenue South, Federal Way, WA 98003. For more information, please call the Public Works Department at (253) 835-2770 or (253) 835-2771.

[18] November 16, 2012 [ LIGHT RAIL from page 1] Area resident Joshua KelFebruary, Reason said. That $24 million is essentially earmarked to explore options for increasing transit capacity between South 272nd Street and the Federal Way Transit Center at South 320th Street. “It looks as though we have the means to construct to Kent/Des Moines, and the second part of this is...to work with the community to develop a shovel ready plan to get to Federal Way,” Reason said.
ley said he’s a regular user of Sound Transit, and described his daily commute. He said quicker options would be welcome. “I typically either take the bus to either Federal Way then to Seattle, or the bus to Tukwila and then to Seattle. It tends to take a while, but it’s getting better. The Sound Transit Express buses from the Transit Center are relatively quick to downtown, compared to taking RapidRide to Tukwila or either light rail
www.federalwaymirror.com or another bus to Seattle,” he said. “But, the light rail going from here (Federal Way) all the way down (to Seattle) would be quicker and more comfortable.” Kelley said his preferred alignment for a light rail system into Federal Way would run along Highway 99, and not Interstate 5. “I don’t see much room for development along I-5, it’s just a concrete barrier. There are few places to cross, and not as much development right close to it as there is (with Highway
99),” he said. Federal Way City Council members Susan Honda, Jeanne Burbidge and Dini Duclos were on hand for the open house as well. All three said they hope the open house signals a new chapter in the city’s saga with Sound Transit. “I’m glad they’re here, and I hope that they listen to what the citizens are saying,” Honda said. “I think the council needs to stay on top of this, and make sure it’s moving forward and doesn’t stall.”
a selection of fine restaurants and catering
Burbidge added that the community’s involvement in this process is vital. “I’m pleased to see the process get off the ground. This is what was needed to get it started,” Burbidge said. “People are here, looking around, talking, and voicing their opinions. That’s important.” Duclos, one of the council members who took a more aggressive stance with Sound Transit when the news first broke about the issues with getting light rail to Federal Way, is still skep-
tical of the transit agency’s good intentions. “I still want to know why they’ve never answered the question…how much money have they collected from the citizens of Federal Way, and what have they done with it,” she said. “They’ve had an audit and didn’t answer the question. They can’t tell us.” When asked if she thought the Nov. 13 open house was a step in the right direction, Duclos had a simple response. “Time will tell,” she said.
